Chef Nyesha Arrington’s Take on Martin’s Potato Rolls

The chef tries her hand at recreating the squishy, soft rolls at home

“Who does not love a delicious, squishy, rich, amazing bun?,” asks chef Nyesha Arrington, holding a Martin’s Potato Roll in her hand. On this episode of ‘Plateworthy,’ she attempts her own homemade take on the famous bun.

Using dehydrated potato, leftover potato water, and other ingredients similar to those in brioche dough, Arrington begins to add everything to her stand mixer. Once the dough is mixed, she rolls six pieces with her palm to create a dome shape, gives them an egg wash, and bakes them. Once they’re done, she rips one open to reveal the puffy dough and a wisp of steam.

While the buns are cooling, she prepares a simple smash burger. “Really this meat here is just a vessel for the burger bun,” she says before assembling the burger and taking a bite. “Hell yeah. For me this is the perfect cheeseburger. A little bit of cheese, ketchup, and an amazing bun.”
